HC Deb 03 February 1993 vol 218 cc218-9W
Ms. Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what recent publications have been made available, and to whom, relating to road safety.

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

The following publications have been issued in the last three monthsCircular Roads 1/93 Local speed Limits, Killing Speed and Saving Lives—The Government's strategy for tackling the problem of excess speed on our roads The Highway Code

Copies were sent on publication to local authorities, local authority associations, police, interested professional organisations, lobby groups, monitoring organisations, and individuals who have requested copies. I also sent copies of the first two documents to Members who have written to me on the subject of speed in recent months.

In addition, a number of leaflets and posters have been issued to road safety officers, the police and motoring organisations dealing with winter driving, drinking and driving, including rehabilitation courses for drink drive offenders; and seat belts.

The DVLA has also distributed leaflets on seatbelts, the highway code, speed and cycling with vehicle excise duty reminders. The transport research laboratory regularly publishes research reports on road safety topics.
